McClure who ministered the Word on regular meeting nights during his stay. Bro. W.P. Douglas joined him for the Lord's day. Their appearance sitting together on the platform in the evening was itself a forceful reminder and testimony to the truth of Isa. 46:4. As brother McClure rose to speak, he remarked that when he first went into Canada to preach Christ’s Gospel he was directed to join another young man who proved to be a great help to him, in that he taught him the value of prayer, and added — “That young man was none other than dear brother Douglas. And now, after 55 years, during which I have preached Christ to the ends of the world, we, without any prearrangements, are again together on this platform this evening, to preach the same blessed Gospel.” And they both did well."
